• I Think I Can, I Think I Can: Brand Use, Self-Efficacy, and Performance (2014, background): “If Gatorade affected handgrip performance through a nonconscious process, performance should not have been enhanced when the link between Gatorade and athletic performance was made salient (Kramer and Block 2008; Shiv, Carmon, and Ariely 2005).”
• Conditioned Superstition: Desire for Control and Consumer Brand Preferences (2013, background): “These cultural superstitions largely occur with nonconscious priming (Kramer and Block 2008), but we hypothesize that conditioned superstitions may be formed and used at a conscious level.”
• The effect of superstitious beliefs on performance expectations (2009, methodology): “Interestingly, in a prior study by the current authors (Kramer and Block 2008), we find that superstitious associations (e.g., lucky numbers and colors) influence consumer behavior to a great extent, and furthermore often do so through an automatic process.”
